Sherry's Austin TX Real Estate Blog: Forget short sales…we are being short sheeted!

Forget short sales…we are being short sheeted!

Toilet PaperWe are being short sheeted! Anyone besides me happen to notice what they are doing with toilet paper? They are cutting the rolls narrower. Oh, we have just as many sheets per roll…they are just about 1 inch narrower than they used to be.

We have had to put up with all most everything being made smaller at the same cost to us so companies could save money. It was bad enough when hamburger patties were smaller than before. Then candy bars were smaller (however they didn’t make my backside any smaller). My 5 lb. bag of sugar is not 5 lbs. anymore…I think they are more like 4 lbs. But when they make toilet paper smaller….what is next? Is nothing sacred anymore? Bounty

PS: One of my most appreciated little house warming gifts, that is always at the home before they arrive…It is a fly swatter, a plunger, a roll of paper towels and at least a 4 pack of toilet paper. I usually get a phone call the following day thanking me…especially for the TP!

While my behind seems to grow larger by day, you mean to tell me that toilet paper is getting narrower!!!??  This is downright hazardous.

Thank heavens it is the TP.  I can go back to be a couch potato now and stop spending so much time worrying about my middle age spread.

I had noticed the rolls were shorter, but I didn't think they were an inch.

Douglas-Just giving everyone heads up!

You are hilarious!  But it is true that the funniest things come from things like this in our daily life.  You are right about the smaller rolls  and it has particularly effected big ol/ boys. Small dainty rolls just  don't cut it.
